supout.rif rescue

I was upgrading a router and the upgrade didn’t take. I went and got the router from my wireless tower, and was going to do a netinstall upgrade. Told it to keep the old configuration, and it tried. NetInstall didn’t work! I tried a CD install, and it seems to be alright as of now, but i’m not holding my breath. The issue comes in that it didn’t keep the old configuration. Two days before this, I made a supout.rif file that i wanted to send to MT to have looked at (WinBox kept getting denied, telnet/ssh didnt). This supout.rif has my configuration in it, im quite sure, and i figured maybe there’s a way I can read this, so I dont have to remember how to configure it. (I know, i should have had a backup, but i didnt). any help would be much appreciated!

Your best (and only) chance is to send the supout.rif to MikroTik and ask them to extract the config for you - the file format isn’t documented/public and cannot be imported back…

I was rather hoping a MT fellow would share a bold secret…

well you can’t open it, thats for sure. just send it to support and i will send you your config

oh gosh, why not? Either way, Edgars got me taken care of! Thanks MT, ya rock!
